| Nothing beats homemade! |
If you have been following my blog since the new year you know I have been on a mission to make more things homemade.
I have a list of things I have either always wanted to learn to make homemade OR things we eat often that I want to learn how to make homemade.
Whatever the reason every time I make homemade I am amazed I never tried it before. And the homemade biscuits were just the same.
I think we might be eating them more often now! Actually we have had them twice in less than two weeks! You could say my family likes them. And really you can't compare homemade biscuits to the can biscuits.
I found this recipe in my old Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. I looked for the same recipe online through Better Homes' site, but it seems they have changed it up a bit. I will give you the "old" one.
Older recipes are usually better anyway.
These took me about 10 minutes to prepare and then 10 minutes to bake. I end up getting 12 biscuits...the recipe says 10.
If you have never made homemade biscuits you must try these soon! Fresh from the oven with butter and honey or smothered in a sausage gravy, your family will thank you!
Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup milk
In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in butter till mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; add milk all at once. Stir just till dough clings together.
On a lightly floured surface, kneed dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat down to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter into flour between cuts.
Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet. Bake in a 450 oven for 10 to 12 minutes or till golden.
NOTE: I use the top of a Mason jar as a "biscuit cutter".

I just LOVE biscuits!!! It's awesome how you are making so many wonderful homemade things. I made homemade granola bars and a double batch of oat waffles today ♥ Love the satisfaction it brings:) Can't wait to see whats next on your list...
Silly question from a non-cook...where do you find cream of tarter in the grocery store?
Hello again, I was up later making my hubby a birthday sign and remembered your hubby and his twin have a birthday around my husbands. I hope your love has a special day. My sweety will be the big 40. I will be making him these biscuits while he is off and going to try the cheesy bread next week. A happy wife, Angelia in TX
